Great activity in Inverness yesterday

Scotland wouldn't be the nation it is today without those who have chosen to make their lives here.
We must always remain a safe, welcoming country for migrants and refugees.
We'll oppose the UK's hostile environment and work to build a system based on dignity, humanity and respect.

The system isn't broken, it's rigged.
Our activists are delivering our message of hope all across the country and polls show we are on track for a record result.
Let's demand better for Scotland.
Vote @scottishgreens.org on 7th May! 🗳️💚

In Parliament I raised the alarm about a landmark UK Government report and what it means for all of us here in the Highlands & Islands.
I'm calling on ministers to seize this moment and act. Scotland cannot afford to wait.

Last full week of Parliament before it shuts down for the election period - here’s what I’ve been working on this week:
As always, I’ll keep pushing for a fairer, greener Highlands and Islands 💚
I don't think "please would everyone be more relaxed about our racism" is really going to cut it.
It's time to fix Scotland’s broken land ownership system and put power back into the hands of communities, not the super-rich.

🚨 We've hit a record 10,000 members!
All over Scotland people are demanding bold change, and the Scottish Greens are he only party delivering it.
With the election in May there's never been a better time to get involved and help us build a fairer, greener future.

Half of Scotland's land is owned by 400 people. Scottish Greens will limit how much can be bought by any individual or company. On May 7th vote Scottish Greens.
Scotland's land distribution is amongst the most unequal in Europe.
Land should benefit our communities, nature and environment, not just private profit.
We'll limit how much land can be bought by any individual or company unless it provably contributes to the common good.
All too predictably, Farage's hand-picked candidates are turning out to be a motley crew of racists, conspiracists and fools.
The guy pictured here told the @cescotland.bsky.social hustings earlier this month that "carbon dioxide isn't a problem" and other climate denial drivel.
70% of children in relative poverty are in working households in Scotland. ❌️
I'm proud to be part of the Greens, who have championed the Scottish Child Payment as an effective tool in reducing Child Poverty.
While Anas Sarwar parrots Tory takes, we'll use any tool available against poverty 💚
💚 Greens can beat Reform.
We're fighting to tax the rich to save you money.

As this war gets messier and messier, it will become more unpopular.
An independent Scotland should ditch the 'special relationship' and be a voice for peace

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.
Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.
Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons"
When's the vote, Keir?
AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?
ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed
AYMAN: Where?
LUNA: Are you serious right now?
AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation
New poll. Scottish Greens to overtake Labour and Tories in Scotland. Labour: 15 MSPs. Greens: 16 MSPs. Tory: 9 MSPs. On May 7th vote Scottish Greens.

Though Labour deemed the move to be necessary, the rest of the world largely viewed the proscription of Palestine Action in July last year as a vicious move by a desperate government, writes Lara Bird ✍️
The system is rigged in favour of the super-rich. It's time to change the system.
Scottish Greens are fighting to put people and planet before corporate profits, to save you money.💚

It's time to evict Trump's troops from Scotland.
The US under Trump is increasingly becoming a rogue state, from invading Venezuela to threatening Greenland. Scotland must not be complicit in his crimes.
